lyrics

Oh, you tell me you'd like to come to
So I victimize you
Tell you to go, you to go, you to go, you to go, you to go

I pretend to be part of it all
but I'm feeling so small
No good to you, good to you, good to you

Oh the future is faceless, but it's staring me down (x4)

Oh, oh

(Chorus)
You got the muscle-bound hook
And the risky business look
I look like Kal Penn standing on a telephone book
Got your jean shorts skinny skinny walking in the sun
I start to feel like I'm everybody's only one, hun.

Oh, you tell me you'd like to come to
Victimize you
Tell you to go, you to go, you to go, you to go

Painfully aware of how close I've been
Never going out in shorts again
Keep my worries close, mine to defend
But I know

(Chorus)
You got the muscle-bound hook
And the risky business look
I look like Kal Penn standing on a telephone book
Got your jean shorts skinny skinny walking in the sun
I start to feel like I'm everybody's only one, hun.

Got your key card to a bigger world
Then I feel that I'm allowed to see
And I keep on keepin on
But then I start to feel like everybody owns me

The future is faceless, but it's staring me down (x1000)
